Mine is in January 1986, Red Wine finish. Made by Samick for Epiphone. Beautiful violin generally robust.
UTILIZATION
Channel type Gibson classic with a twist to the side "not too round." Gibson acute attack type, ie it does not play Steve Vai is teased to the 12th and it is already.
SOUNDS
I play on a directory Funk Blues (between Vaughan and Peterson) is the perfect guitar!
I play on a Valvestate 2000 150 watts.
In his clear, with my settings meduim, Ronny Jordan is the sound of "So What"! That's what I was looking for.
In light saturation, we hang the crunch while keeping the next round, it lacks a bit of momentum, but the original pickups are a little tired.
In saturated solo (near the full feedback of grain), it's pretty impressive! Hot big sound into believing with the neck pickup that I play a Les Paul.
Remains dynamic microphones not top top but that after 22 years, do not ask for the moon.
OVERALL OPINION
It was not long ago (1 month), a few rehearsals and in concert, it is a little heavy but it comes to size hollow body as well.
I love the warm sound and a bit dull it provides, we feel that it is deep and the violin has really aged well.
In the present state of experience that I share with this instrument, I do not regret my purchase OCCAZ.
In addition to my G & L Tribute, it is perfect. I can go from jazz to blues dear to his John Lee Hooker, and Lucky Peterson.
WARNING: Mine is from 1986, when Gibson made sure what was happening with their subcontractors, from Chinese manufactures have taken over and the quality seems far removed from previous productions.
